If anything this highlights that apple needs to be forced to allow third party app stores on even footing as the App Store.

Why though?

If only 1% of your user base is accessing your maps through the website, you aren’t going to keep supporting it.

This also skips over with some hand waving that a lot of mobile app uses cases simply can’t be replicated with web sites. Take gps or smart home control as two easy of the top of my head example the author skipped too.

Also the fact that people here would rather have their info stored in the cloud vs local on device is interesting.

This is the most reasonable take I’ve seen in this whole thread. Alcohol doesn’t reduce anxiety either yet tons of people take it as a social lubricant and it probably does more damage to those consuming it than those who consume weed. So shrug? Just be responsible folks and let people blow off steam how they like without judging it like weed is an 8 ball.

Way to completely misunderstand and try in an underhanded way to the dismiss entourage effect.

It’s not smoking 10 strains in a row it’s the fact that you need CBD THC and all the terpenes to get the effects. So the current growing trend of just getting the THC number higher tends to result in plants that don’t actually give people the full spectrum of effects, beneficial or not.

So the correct way to do this would be a full spectrum isolate, which again you coincidently forgot to mention I’m sure.

Yeah some of it is probably related to me primarily using it for swift ui which doesn’t have years of stuff to scrape. But even with those and even telling that ios26 exists it will still at least once a session claim it doesn’t, so it’s not 100%

The problem with this is none of this is production quality. You haven’t done edge case testing for user mistakes, a security audit, or even just maintainability.

Yes opus 4.5 seems great but most of the time it tries to vastly over complicate a solution. Its answer will be 10x harder to maintain and debug than the simpler solution a human would have created by thinking about the constraints of keeping code working.

Have zero stake in this, but I read it as they won’t accept blank checks from those companies, but if those companies want to pay for testing they can work something out. It’s poorly worded but I don’t think they are trying to be sneaky.

Or simply returns 503? Why would you go directly to destroying things??

I didn’t think I’d see corporate utilities propaganda on hacker news but here are.

The main rebuttal to this is why are non of the public utilities (Sacramento, Santa Clara, and La power) in California trying to get on nem 3.0 if it’s such a profit loss and causing so much “unfairness”? The answer is because it’s made up and the investor utilities want to be able to sell you all the power. They would love to get rid of rooftop solar.

Cool, but web apps still can’t do location tracking in the background. So please do tell me how my fitness app should be a web app instead?

Fitbod was pretty good about this. You can tell it what gym equipment you have and it will design workouts around that and the muscle groups that aren’t tired from the last session.
